Tissue Paper Background Technique

I
was able to play with my friend, April, awhile back and she showed me how to
make this great background called Tissue Paper Background.It uses tissue paper and glue to create a
background with lots of texture.Then
you can add the colors you want.It is
so easy and fun.

For
my card I used a variety of distress stains and was a bit more controlled with
the coloring to give the look of grass and sky.After it dried I lightly tapped my VersaMark pad over it and add Sparkle Embossing Powder from Sparkle N Sprinkle.I want a very light sparkle so I used a paint brush to remove some of
the EP before heat setting.

The
image and sentiment are from SNS’s new Bicycles set.I colored the image with alcohol markers, cut
it out with a Spellbinders’ label die, and sponged ink around the edges.Then I added Sparkle N Soft to the
flowers.The sentiment is embossed with Belgian Cream EP on a Spellbinders’ Back To Basics Tag.I used distress ink to color my seam binding ribbon for my bow.
